Yeah, In 100% honesty, I've always kinda disliked it, particularly because it kinda... it removes a lot of risk, and hard choices are, in essence, what drive the apocalypse engine.

Kill it?

I'll kill it and I'm going to switch to defensive right now. It is interesting that the Battlemaster doesn't have a tactic related to commanding/leading/assisting others. I guess gambit fills that role.

The meta-game-y plan with Roshan is to harry Einora to keep the death-rays away from other characters and keep the army less coordinated. End goal is reaching 0 wrath and something interesting happening.
Hopefully Roshan doesn't die in the process, but we'll see...

So, I would like to make it clear I will feel bad If I kill your character twice in a row, bastion... but that won't stop me.

Won't be jumping directly into any snake mouths, but I'm not hugely torn up by character deaths. Been DMing too long. At least this time the battle is significant to the character's arc.

Fully aware that my plan is to stunlock a 50+ hp, 4 armor enemy with literal needles.

two moves of note here.

Magebane Shield

When you defend with the shield of the southern cross, you may spend 1 hold to nullify any magic directed at you or your wards.

Invincible

When you are so foolish as to attack Einora directly, without taking advantage of an established opening, she deftly counters your feeble efforts and... (GM picks 1)
* Launches a lethal counterattack, what do you do?
* Dances past/around/away from/over to you, faster than you can blink
* Flicks your weapon from your grasp, sends you tumbling, stuns you, and/or otherwise shows her disdain for the inconsequential threat you pose

just to be very clear, trying to fight Einora alone is suicide.

Invincible, or Magebane shield?

I sure hope that was clever...
F Templar Lvl 6.02   dmg:D8 HP:25/25 A:2   Wrath:+3 ~ STR:+3 ~ CON:+2 ~ DEX:+1 ~ WIS:+1 ~ INT:0 ~ CHA-1   WANTED

I've seen this heat-beam-eyes attack a few times, might I know what the damage die is, or is dice a thing that even applies here?

I kinda want to start defending and trying to close the distance, but I'm genuinely affraid it's either a literal death ray or the best of 2d100.

oh, it's 1d12+2, messt forcefull flaming ignores armour. Not pleasant, but not insta-death either (except for NPC's, those basically just die)
F Templar Lvl 6.02   dmg:D8 HP:25/25 A:2   Wrath:+3 ~ STR:+3 ~ CON:+2 ~ DEX:+1 ~ WIS:+1 ~ INT:0 ~ CHA-1   WANTED

So, potentially enough to 1HKO, but on a good day, I could take up to three hits with Defend, unless I fail... Rolling again each time Roshan advances, Near to Reach, Reach to Close... maybe an extra step from Near to Reach, it's not exactly a ten foot difference.

It's terrifyingly plausible...

Plus I'll have backup from Belym and Tom... Who will be in range to slap on some healing... (with probably a buttload of penalties for ongoing effects)

Okay, let's do this...

(I am way overdue for a failed roll... X.X)

It's funny, I used Roshan as a boss in one of my home games, and she also got hit with an NPC-vaporizing fire column...

I made one of my Maps again!

Smiles are friends, lightning bolts are demons, the sun is Einora. I think I used the same colours for everyone I used last time (Blue for Ron, Green for Conwall, Grey fro Belym, Yellow for Tom, and Red for Roshan)

I thought I was inside the gates?

but outside the ring of buildings einora is torching. everyone is inside the gates.

I'm not sure I like the proximity of the hoard, but I did intentionally RP tunnel vision so...

Should we update positions on the map based on our posts?
2 people marked this as a favorite.

I'll do that when I post mine.

also, good news about the horde... it is pretty well decimated by a weird blue fireball. bad news is you are still facing a literal f*&*ing goddess with 6 hp

Well, I mean, that makes a better epitaph than "forgot she was next to an army."

I dunno, it might be more of a "A goddess ripped her face off" type deal.

Yeah, people remember that kind of thing. (when there are people left to remember things)

Cassandra too?

And the ex-tattooed pirate?

I think he meant that all 3 of the Queensguard guys in the black armor are dead?

well, Cassy is MIA, but the tattoo dude has reappeared.

remeber the gem-man with a distinctive red mark on his arm?... yeah.

also, belym is right, and for the record, yes you totally can still collaspe a steeple on her, but with Tom and Roshan so close, it might not be a great plan
Male Human Cleric 6 26/26 HP | 14 XP | Bless, Sanctuary, Speak With Dead | -2 cast a spell, 2 hold (spend 2 to make camp, 5 to escape labyrinth), blessed

Go ahead and bring the steeple down on her, this is a clean chance for solid damage and Roshan and I will figure something out.
F Templar Lvl 6.02   dmg:D8 HP:25/25 A:2   Wrath:+3 ~ STR:+3 ~ CON:+2 ~ DEX:+1 ~ WIS:+1 ~ INT:0 ~ CHA-1   WANTED

Worth it.

I swear to god, I'm not out to get you, bastion. Actualy, I enjoy having you in the party quite a lot... you just get some bad rolls sometimes... often at the worst possible times.

map is updated!

Poor Tom.

This is when we find out Ishvar was Einora or vice versa the whole time.

I think it is more likely we find out what Tom and Roshan look like inside out and on fire

I think we found the thing Einora is going to beat Tom and Roshan to death with.

P.S. It's Conwall.

You know what they say about tempting the sadistic fate?

Where's a divine ore blunderbuss when you need one?
Female Dwarf Channeler 8 (23/28 hp, 1 armor, d4 damage, 2/15 xp) (Str -1, Dex +2, Con +3, Int +2, Wis +1, Cha +0)

Really, I should probably just give Conwall the unhafted divine ore mace(hand, awkward, divine) and let him bludgeon her with it.

In b4 "How many is that, Conwall?"

Edit:Smack talk aside, I figure I did 1-3 damage total.

Should we take a minute to talk about how we handle this? We are about to lose two party members.

I'm pretty satisfied with the odds.

Plus... When you die, your eyes boil and burn away as holy light pours out of you. Every inch of you radiates hallowed flame. You wield the sword of vengeance, the shield of righteousness, and your gaze pierces the souls of all you look upon. The ground you touch is forever consecrated. Until your wrath is delivered to those deserving nearby, you succeed at every roll and deal max damage. The GM will soon tell you your work here is done. Embrace serenity, Templar, you have left this putrid world one step closer to absolution.

I think Ron should do this fight in Reckless stance.... he might need the piercing and extra damage.

That would seem to fit the moment.
